Compare Being a Roman Citizen by Jane F. Gardner, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The status of citizen was increasingly the right of the majority in the Roman empire and brought important privileges and exemption from certain forms of punishment. However, not all Roman citizens were equal; for example bastards, freed persons, women, the physically and mentally handicapped, under-25s, ex-criminals and soldiers were subject to restrictions and curtailments on their capacity to act. Being a Roman Citizenexamines these forms of limitation and discrimination and thereby throws into sharper focus Roman conceptions of citizenship and society. | Being a Roman Citizen by Jane F.
